Front

What does the ASA postulate state?

Back

The ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) postulate states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the SSS postulate?

Back

The SSS (Side-Side-Side) postulate states that if three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Front

What does the AAS postulate require?

Back

The AAS (Angle-Angle-Side) postulate requires two angles and a side that is not between them to prove triangle congruence.

Front

If two triangles are congruent by SSS, what can be said about their corresponding angles?

Back

Their corresponding angles are equal.

Front

If triangle PQR is congruent to triangle STU by SAS, what can be concluded about side PR?

Back

Side PR is equal to side SU.

Front

What is the measure of an inscribed angle that subtends an arc of 80°?

Back

The measure of the inscribed angle is 40°.

Front

What does the SAS postulate state?

Back

The SAS (Side-Angle-Side) postulate states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the relationship between the areas of two congruent triangles?

Back

Two congruent triangles must have the same area.

Front

What is the definition of congruent triangles?

Back

Congruent triangles are triangles that are identical in shape and size, meaning their corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

What is the significance of corresponding sides in congruent triangles?

Back

Corresponding sides in congruent triangles are equal in length.
